Procedure for testing and cleaning instruments for minimally invasive surgery or minimally invasive examination of body cavities

摘要

A process for testing and cleansing one or more instruments (20) for minimal invasive surgery or examination, includes connecting the channel (25) for the instruments (20) to a liq. source (47) to test it for obstructions. If the flow is insufficient, the channel is deemed unsuitable for the instrument and is specified for probing. If the flow is sufficient, the channel is disinfected and/or cleansed. The amt. of fluid passing through the channel is determined during the testing, and is compared with predetermined data. The comparison is used to decide if the channel is suitable for specific instruments. The process is used to test a channel for its suitability for instruments for minimal invasive surgery or examination.
